Foreword
1 The Civil Aviation Authorities of certain European countries have agreed common
comprehensive and detailed airworthiness requirements (referred to as the Joint Aviation
Requirements (JAR)) with a view to minimising Type Certification problems on joint ventures,
and also to facilitate the export and import of aviation products.
2 The JAR are recognised by the Civil Aviation Administration of participating countries as an
acceptable basis for showing compliance with their national airworthiness codes.
3 FAR Part 23 of the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States of America has been
selected to provide the format, and where appropriate content, of the JAR for Normal, Utility,
Aerobatic, and Commuter Category Aeroplanes (JAR-23).
